Founded <span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e132-679e-608a-387a0f9e8b0e"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design for America (DFA) was founded in 2009 at Northwestern University's University’s McCormick School of Engineering. The organization is devoted to “fusing collaboration, leadership, Design for America (and creativity” to empower students to apply design thinking to large scale social problems. DFA) focuses on creating student led works to accomplish this by establishing “design studios” at college campuses across the country. Then, the studios are provided with the necessary resources to effectively utilize design studios thinking and engage in projects that find meaningful ways to create impact in their local communities. DFA has spread to 17 universities throughout the United States and continues to grow, with an increase of 70 applications in 2013. Looking at an individual studio level, DFA is a student-led organization on each campus. Studio “Studio” is a term used by DFA to define a group of like-minded students that come together to think, design, and innovate. Studios at The studios themselves can look different universities vary depending on which university you visit; varying from an actual &nbsp;a designated physical space on campus to simply available classrooms where students can meet. The main idea of Design for America is that students find projects and create an impact within their community. DFA provides these each campus with the resources and training needed to be successful as a nascent organization.&nbsp;</span></span>
From teaching design innovation<span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e132-679e-608a-387a0f9e8b0e"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Currently, DFA has spread to 37 campuses around the United States, serving 1200+ students. The establishment of each new studio follows the model of the original Northwestern studio in order to preserve the student-led atmosphere. Again, Design for America hopes utilizes these studios to give young adults the experience needed to be team players, purposeful learners, and effective leaders in every sense of the word. Another important aspect is that DFA has attempted to keep its student-led grass roots atmosphere by using the same formula from Northwestern's studio to build new studios on campuses throughout the United States.&nbsp;</span></span><div><br/></div>{{#Widget:Youtube|id=u7v6mrdC2lQ}}}

Working on a national level to build a network of students who consistently create an impact through team-based projects. The main goal of Design for America is to generate a network of students who actively work to solve social problems and make an impact in their communities. In order to assess its challenges and complete all steps in the design process from creating ideas to feasible product development, student teams must survey their local communities. Student teams are either part of a studio or independently run by students on campuses nationwide. Design for America believes that every student has the drive to make an impact through design innovation to solve problems in the world around them.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-3a4f77a5-e2ed-dea3-9e68-8f2ca07ea08b"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Co-founder Dr. Liz Gerber has conducted research for new ways of learning about human centered design called Extracurricular Design-Based Learning. This system engages students and community members to think about the biggest challenges we face in the world through education, health, economy, and environment. The vision of this organization is the create belief that one can be motivated in our ability to make change. Design for America strongly believes that we must believe and challenge our ability to generate innovative solutions that addresses the world’s challenges by applying extracurricular design-based learning.</span></span><div><br/></div>= Distinct Differences From Other Offerings[[File:Design for america gala2.jpg|thumb|Design for america gala2.jpg]] =<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.44;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:16pt;text-align: justify;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e132-eed6-cb09-182531d5f101"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The distinct value that Design for America offers is the formation of a campus organization devoted to helping students develop their ideas through working in teams and also using proven methods of designed-based learning. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DFA equips students to tackle social challenges through design innovation.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DFA provides studio support through faculty, advisors, professional design mentors, community partners, and administrators within the DFA organization. The significance of Design for America on your campus is the ability to create a pipeline of leaders and thinkers that can make an impact within their community. DFA is also simultaneously broadening the idea of an "impact" from the traditional sense of starting a new venture, to all types of social endeavours. For example, starting a volunteer organization or teaching classes about nutrition in the local community or extraordinary challenges in economy, education, and environment. DFA projects fuse collaboration, leadership, and creativity. Lastly, DFA is committed to the continuing development of interdisciplinary student teams. Students from all majors and backgrounds play crucial parts on campus studios and bridge the gap between business, science, engineering, and liberal arts.</span></span></p><div><br/></div>= Impact Achieved For Students and Campus = <span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e133-708e-0b4d-ef5babdce786"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On campus, student teams work on 2-3 self-selected design projects throughout the academic year and apply skills, knowledge, and expertise from their course work. Design for America teaches students how to look at their local community, find problems, think of solutions, and implement those changes. These experiences are enhanced through DFA’s National Partnerships. When partnering with DFA, “companies gain valuable insight from the next generation of changemakers”, but the students benefit immensely from opportunities to engage in real world experiences. In the past, students have successfully contributed “reimagined marketing/promotion strategies, innovation in product development, and provisional patents of product prototypes”.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e133-c54b-625d-bddc9981f920"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since the creation of Design for America, over 2,000 students have participated in campus studios, 37 campuses have gotten involved, and two start ups (SwipeSense and Jerry the Bear) have come to market. Jerry the Bear is a stuffed animal that helps children with Type 1 Diabetes monitor their blood sugar levels and build healthy behaviors through play. SwipeSense “uses sensors in hospital personnel badges and dispensers to capture hygiene activity” to help prevent hospital acquired infections. Currently, SwipeSense has raised $16.9 million in funding and employs over 35 people (Visit the Blog page on DFA’s website for more info).</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">When students engage in these projects through DFA design studios, the campus enjoys stronger connections between disciplines, an increased awareness of the power of design thinking, and access to a constantly growing national network.

Design for America is an organization based on the idea that people cannot innovate without believing in themselves. This principle defines their motivation behind working on a national level to build a network of students who actively create impact at the local level through team-based projects. Design for America's goal is to create a network of students working to solve social problems and make a significant impact in their respective communities. Student teams survey their local community in order to assess its challenges and complete all the steps in the design process from ideation to viable product development. Teams of 2 to 3 students will then set out to create solutions based on the challenges identified.&nbsp;<span style="font-sizefamily: 12pxarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Student teams are either a part of a studio or independently run by students on campuses nationwide.&nbsp;</spanid="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e134-9767-6bff-a7e9957b4ff1"><span style="font-size: 12px">Design for America believes that every student has the ability to make an impact12pt; color: rgb(0, and through design innovation0, students can solve problems in the world around them.&nbsp0); background-color: transparent;font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">University of Alabama</span></span></span>
